I whakatū anō te mākete hokohoko toi Māori mō te ao e kīa nei ko Māori Art Market 2009.

E ai ki a Darcy Nicholas te kaihautū o tēnei kaupapa i ārohi mai ngā tāngata o Āhia, o Te Moananui ā Kiwa, me Ūropi ki a tātou.

I hoko atu i ēnei taonga toi Māori ki te marea. He maha ngā momo toi Māori i whakaturia pērā i te kōwhaiwhai, whakairo, whakaahua, raranga, mahi rei, mahi uku me tā moko.

Tū ai te mākete nei ia rua tau. Nō te tau 2005 i tū tuatahi ai i te wā i tūtaki a Māori me Amerika i San Francisco, ā, i tū i Te Whanganui ā Tara i te tau 2007.

Kua roa nei ngā kaimahi toi Māori maha e whakaatu ana, e hoko ana hoki i ā rātou mahi ki tāwāhi. He mea tiki atu te kaupapa nei i te INDIAN MARKET, e waru tekau tau e tū ana ki Santa Fe i te marama o Hereturikōkā.

I tū te mākete toi Māori ki te whare taonga o Pātaka me te whare hākinakina o Te Rauparaha ki Porirua, mai i te 9 ki te 11 o ngā rā o Whiringa ā nuku.
